Pulmonary ExpertA-Can the
| Unhversal Consumption be Suc-
ccssfully Treatedr
Or. Borgeop, q leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphoretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part
of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at eff
| fects-the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, j. e., the Brompton Hospi.
tai for Consumptives, in London. Eng
This malady every year carries of
| from one seventh to one.fifth of the en-.
tire population of England!
Or. Payne, M. D., M. R. C. p, Lon.
don, is authority for this statement.
The same or greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one.half the
total number of deaths from oil other
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some rritant
to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump-
tion is caused by deficient nutrition OF
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them
The uric acid is the irritant in the blood
that causes the development of the seeds
which DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and If they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison. The thous.
and little hairlike sewer.tubes of the
kidneys very easily get blocked up and
diseased; and when they do, they cor.
rupt instead of purifying the blood
Kidney disease may exist and yet no
pain occur in that organ, because it is
deficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon festers and is destroyed. Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second and they soon give way.
TIE Brompton hospital investigation
showed that fifty.two per cent Of the
victims of consumption were afflicted
with deranged kidneys, which permitted
the uric acid poison to remain in the
blood and irritate the lungs. This uric
acid is always lighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weakness in
the lungs it inevitably causes pneumo.
MIA, cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being SO authoritatlvely shown to be
faulty, even though unsuspected action
of the kidneys, explains why, in order
| to master the dresded consum ption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irri
tant which infames and burns up the
lung substance. For this purpose there
is nothing equal to that great specific,
Warmers safe cure. This remedy has
now the favor of medical men all over
the world purely Oh its merits. We
have no doubt that if the kidneys are
kept in natural action, consumption and
great many other diseases, caused by
uric. c.acid, will not only be cured but
will be prevented.
| When the kidney is healthy. no albu.
men appears in the water, but albumen
is found in the water of more than half
of those who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition Of things
that always precedes consumption:
First, weakened kidneys; second, re.
tanned uric acid, POISONING the blood;
third, the development of disease in the
lungs by the irritant acids passing
through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats;
and when the patient goes to his school
physician for help, he is put on
codliver oil which his stomach, " akened
also by uric acid in the blood, cannot
digesr. Because there is no pain present
in the kidneys, the patient does not
think they are affected, but the kidney
acid is doing its work every minute,
every hour, day and night, and by and
by the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed; then come hem
orrhages, and at last the CLASSY stare
which denotes that the end is near!
A post.mortem examination OF such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid
has completely destroyed the substance
of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with uric
acid
